Since its release in 2020, Genshin Impact has captured the hearts of over 60 million players worldwide. The anime-inspired RPG has grossed over $3 billion in just two years on the market, winning both the Google Play Award for Best Game and the Apple Design Award in 2021.
Central to Genshin Impact‘s success are its immersive quests that allow players to explore the fantasy world of Teyvat, discover lore, and progress their characters. The puzzles, mechanisms, and domains offer a satisfying challenge. However, some quests are deceptively difficult due to unclear objectives or few hints on how to proceed.
One such quest stumping many players is "Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga" in the Sumeru region. In this comprehensive 2,000+ word guide, I‘ll leverage my expertise as a gaming content creator to provide foolproof instructions on completing Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga from start to finish.
The Significance of Quests in Genshin Impact
Before diving into the specific walkthrough, it‘s helpful to understand the context of quests within Genshin Impact‘s gameplay and storytelling:
-
Enable Progression: Quests unlock waypoints, statues, domains, and other map locations necessary for exploration and advancement.
-
Reward Primogems: Completing major quests rewards Primogems, the premium currency used for Wishes.
-
Develop Lore: NPC dialogue and quest objectives reveal backstories about characters, regions, conflicts, etc.
-
Introduce Puzzles: Quests feature unique puzzles, ranging from simple switches to elaborate elemental mechanisms.
-
Provide Challenges: Quests require strategic character switching and resource management to defeat enemies or survive environmental hazards.
While open world wandering is a joy in Genshin Impact, quests motivate focused progression and discovery. The puzzles specifically take time to master, but ultimately provide a sense of satisfying accomplishment.
Step-By-Step Walkthrough of Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga
Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga is classified as a Sumeru world quest, unlocked at Adventure Rank 30. Located in a lush cave in Devantaka Mountain, it contains unique Dendrograna puzzles and a melodic door sequence.
Here is a comprehensive step-by-step walkthrough of how to successfully complete Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga:
Teleport to the Devantaka Mountain Waypoint
The first step is pinpointing the correct starting point. Open your map and teleport to the waypoint in southeast Devantaka Mountain, along the coast.

Locate the Cave Entrance
Exit the waypoint to the north, following the path along the cliffs. Look for a cave entrance in the rocky mountainside and enter.
[Insert image of cave entrance]This lush cave, densely layered with vines, contains many puzzles ahead. Light sources like torches or elemental skills will be helpful. Having a pyro character in your party can illuminate the darker inner corridors.
Follow the Trail of the First Seelie
Once inside the cave, glance across the shallow river in the middle to spot a small floating Seelie.
[Insert clip of first Seelie location]Glide, swim, or use cryo to cross over to it. Interact with the Seelie to activate it, then carefully follow where it flies. It will lead you across the water and around rock formations.
If needing a boost to reach higher ledges, apply electro to the large mushroom to increase its bounce height. Geo constructs like Ningguang‘s Jade Screen can also help act as platforms.
Locate and Activate the Second Seelie
The first Seelie will direct you to a stone staircase. Head up the steps to find the second Seelie floating above a mechanism.
[Insert image of second Seelie and mechanism]Activate this Seelie as well, which will unlock the mechanism. Be sure to collect any useful resources like Philanemo Mushrooms along the route as you track the Seelie trails.
Drain the Cave Waters by Activating the Mechanism
Interact with the unlocked mechanism to activate it. This will drain the water below, exposing a lower section of the cave.

Head to the Submerged Cave
Descend to the now-drained lower cave. Explore the winding tunnels until coming upon a striking mural door etched with musical notes.

Unlock the Door with the Vintage Lyre Gadget
To unlock this door, equip the "Vintage Lyre" gadget by opening your inventory and selecting it in the Gadgets tab.
Face the door and interact with it to prompt the Lyre minigame. Strum the notes in the following sequence to play the "Rhythm of Vamadha":
5–3–2–1–5–4–2–5–3–4–2
[Insert video clip demonstrating Lyre sequence]Take care to pause briefly between notes. Once completed correctly, the door will slowly open, revealing a hidden chamber.
Hit Targets with the Dendrograna Familiar
Inside the new chamber, summon your Dendrograna familiar by activating the Dendro element near the pedestal.
[Insert image of Dendrograna summoning point]Switch to a bow character. Around the room you‘ll notice stone targets shaped like flowers. Equip Dendro arrows and then shoot each target.
This will build up the room‘s mechanism. Amber‘s Baron Bunny can help distract enemies during this part.
Apply Dendro to the Monuments
Along with the targets, there are also some stone monuments that you need to activate using Dendro.
Position your character near the monuments and trigger the Dendrograna ability again to spread Dendro element onto them.
[Insert diagram mapping monument locations]Activating all targets and monuments will fully power the chamber‘s mechanisms. Be sure to stock up on Dendro resources if your supplies are low.
Activate the Second Mechanism
After hitting the necessary objects with Dendro, the secondary mechanism in the middle of the room will begin glowing. Interact with the mechanism to activate it.
[Insert clip of mechanism activation]Part of the wall will now open up, creating an entryway.
Investigate the Mechanical Component
Walk through the opened wall to find a mechanical component illuminated on a pedestal.

Dialogue and Quest Rewards
Upon investigating the component, Paimon will confirm that you‘ve collected one of the pieces needed to form the Amiti Device.
You‘ll then obtain two quest rewards:
-
Amiti Device Fragment (II): Can be combined with Fragment (I)
-
Strange Parchment: Cryptic text relating to Sumeru lore
With the quest finished, you‘re free to continue exploring the lush cave and surrounding mountain for resources. Be sure to activate the waypoint at the cave entrance to quick travel back easily.

The Lore and History Behind Royinjan‘s Chapter Linga
The mystical ruins and mechanisms contained within this quest point to a forgotten civilization. Royinjan was an ancient kingdom dating back to 500 years before the Archon War.
Very little is recorded of Royinjan‘s history, but circumstantial evidence indicates they mastered intricate machines and engineering. The dormant devices and contraptions found inside the colorful cave are relics of this long-lost era.
Royinjan‘s territory was eventually consumed by a great flood 500 years later. The underground portions remained intact, frozen in time with many secrets still unsolved.
Completing this quest provides one fragment of the Amiti Device, an ancient mechanism shrouded in mystery. Perhaps collecting all the pieces will unveil more of Royinjan‘s forgotten knowledge.
The lyrical door sequence and floral motifs also suggest the civilization had an affinity for art, music, and nature. Uncovering the history of Teyvat‘s ancient civilizations makes quests like these fascinating adventures.
